I wish Ebs nothing but the very best in the future - it was great to have him entertain us at #cpfc for so long. I want him to win everything and achieve everything….but I also don’t want Arsenal to win anything - nothing at all…so not sure how to square that circle πŸ€”πŸ¦…

If it comes down to deciding between us or Lyon, a case could be made that a cup winner should take precedence over league positions.

Great to see it’s being acknowledged that Crystal Palace Football Club was formed in 1905. Now sack off that 1861 marketing shite & hopefully the HF stop that dreary chant. #cpfc

Lots of β€˜if Lyon stay up, then we’re out’ stuff being posted on here.

That isn’t the conclusion to draw. UEFA’s aim is to find the path of least resistance and fewest appeals - and waiting for Lyon’s case to be concluded is the easiest step to take.

Farage has charisma? He looks like the product of generations of inbreeding.

He's just a populist who lured poor conservatives with hollow promises of grandeur.

When a clown moves into a palace he won’t turn into a king. The palace turns into a circus instead.

Nice pod! On Palace references on film or tv, don’t think you’ve mentioned the Monty Python Barber Shop episode. Minute: 2:50.

Remember when "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" tried to teach us about tariffs and no one was paying attention

Two thoughts on the Trump tariff threat re: Canada and Mexico.

1) There's a plucky island kingdom off the coast of France that can tell Trump all about what happens when you suddenly intorduce costs and friction to decades old supply chains with your neighbours.
